Starting from the car park on Loop Road, Coorong National Park, this walk takes you on a circuit around Salt Creek via the Ngrugie Ngoppun Circuit. Salt Creek marks the entrance into the more remote southern stretches of Coorong National Park and is the starting point for several walking trails, including the Ngrugie Ngoppun Circuit and the Lakes Nature Trail. Ngrugie Ngoppun, which means 'good walk' in the Ngarrindjeri language, is a relatively easy family-friendly walk that meanders through stunning native vegetation and offers excellent birdwatching opportunities, as well as panoramic views of the southern Coorong Lagoon and the sand dunes of the Younghusband Peninsula. The walk initially winds through low scrub past the Salt Creek Lookout, then heads along the historical section, crossing a bridge over the point where the creek enters the Coorong. From there, the walk continues past the Oil Rig monument in the heart of Salt Creek, then follows the bird viewing section back to the car park. This loop consists of mostly flat walking trails, with some uneven natural surfaces, suitable for most fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
